Yahoo Mail Basic

← Yahoo Feedback


Basic Mail provides base functionality like reading and writing messages, but does not include many of the advanced options. To use these features, we recommend upgrading to full-featured version of Yahoo Mail.

Tell us how we can improve your Yahoo Mail – Basic experience. The more specific your feedback, the more useful for us. While we can’t respond to every suggestion, we review regularly and take them very seriously. Our Guidelines have more on how you can give great feedback.

  1. How do I contact Yahoo via email to ask a question about the use of a graphic from one of their pages that says it is in the public domain?

    I want to email a person, not just have to go through all this whatever just to get help with my question. Does Yahoo have an email address that I can contact them through?

  11. "Yahoo Help" is no help at all, it seems to take a person in cirles, with no info.

    There is no way I can change my font or size when I compose, nor can I discover a way to fix that.

  15. Warn users of phony email account message from "Email Routine" using address editor@nmsa.org.za

    Have gotten two emails that appeared to be from Yahoo concerning my email account but were actually from address: editor@nmsa.org.za (South African museum). Opened first one before I realized who it was from and it warned my email account would be terminated if I didn't provide security information. Because I'm constantly being asked to verify my telephone number by Yahoo, thought it might be legit until I noticed sender email address by placing cursor over name that showed in my inbox. Got another one today from same address titled "Final Update (Validate Your Account)" Might want to warn users since…
